Bonjour mes amis! We decided to have somewhat of a chill day today since it was a very late night. Slept in and headed out from our little home here in Montparnasse around lunch time.

Hit the Latin Quarter and rue Mouffetard, which is one of the busiest street there with lots of cafes and shops and people. It's still very warm here although we hear it's supposed to get up to 96 there on Monday, wow! Found a sidewalk cafe for a late lunch of salade avec jambon et fromage and a fabulous bleu cheese ravioli with more wonderful bread, Sorry no pics, it's all in our tummies. Wandered the shops, I tried out my pathetic French but people were nice and we found some beautiful scarves.

We turned a corner and happened upon one of many old gorgeous churches, Saint Etienne du Mont, and of course had to step inside. We heard music as we opened the door and, quel surprise, there was a wedding going on! We stayed through the ceremony and lovely singing and took pics as the happy couple walked back down the aisle to wedded bliss. So fun!

Decided to walk to the Sorbonne and see where the intellects have studied for hundreds of years. Stopped to read our romance novels and soak up some of the knowledge by osmosis, right? We hung out at another cafe for awhile at the Place de la Sorbonne with fountains and laughing children and dogs and pretty girls, so very French. Then on our way back, got some cheese and wine and a baguette to enjoy later.
